Does it invalidate the content if they're one but not the other? Why does it matter if they're professors, researchers or students? It's not like they're making profound statements or putting forward some bold crazy theory, they're asking for FB's internal stats to be validated published so it can be used for research.

> Loads of people become nurses and teachers because they want to help people, even though they don't get paid much
I know it's not the primary point of the post, but define "much". An RN makes around 80k on average, they're also hourly and can generally pick up overtime whenever they want. Nurse anesthetists make double that at minimum, practitioners are north of 120k. It may not be as much as a FAANG position but I'd consider that decent pay, especially for such a stable position with decent WLB(omitting pandemic). Up until the past few years RN only required a 2 year degree.
Teachers don't make as much, but average pay in my lower cost of living area, just crossed 60k. That's not terrible, especially considering they only work 9/12 months and can get more for summer school or many of them find side jobs.

Almost every site has the "Yes to necessary" or "yes to all" now, it's not in the banner but generally IME if I click the "select" option it automatically has all the "optional" cookies turned off. Just two clicks instead of one. I think since the majority of people are too lazy for two clicks they see "select which ones", say whatever and just accept all so hiding the fact you don't actually have to select works in the site's favor.

But they are likely to make significant revenue with everything included in the requested disclosure. Corona isn't going to be the only virus that needs a vaccination. A lot of the methods and technology produced with this vaccine can be reused later, which will generate more revenue. Can no countries pool money together for the vaccine? Can the who not act as a broker instead of encouraging IP theft? Certain pieces can be shared and reused, just like in the FOSS ecosystem, but some things are gated behind paying for the time taken to produce the overall product. It's completely reasonable to expect compensation especially when it could be provided but they're just choosing not to.
